<p>
OpenBGPD is a <b>FREE</b> implementation of the Border Gateway Protocol,
Version 4.
It allows ordinary machines to be used as routers exchanging routes
with other systems speaking the BGP protocol.
<p>
Started out of dissatisfaction with other implementations, OpenBGPD nowadays
is a fairly complete BGP implementation, powering many sites.
Users often praise its ease of use and high performance, as well as its
reliability.
<p>
OpenBGPD's companion, OpenOSPFD, adds support for the OSPF protocol suite.
<p>
OpenBGPD is primarily developed by Henning Brauer and Claudio Jeker;
OpenOSPFD also by Esben N&oslash;rby.
Both are part of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org">the OpenBSD Project</a>.
The software is freely usable and re-usable by everyone under
a BSD license.
<p>

The OpenBSD project sells
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/orders.html#order">CDs</a>,
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/tshirts.html">T-Shirts</a>
and
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/orders.html#posters">Posters</a>.
Sales of these items help to fund development.
